I stumbled upon Myabetic a few days after I was discharged from the hospital. The founder of Myabetic, Kyrra Richards' story resonated with me on a very personal level. She was also diagnosed with Type 1 in her 20s, and never wanted the disease to define her. She gave me an optimistic mindset during the most difficult month of my life. She considers herself a Diabetes Fashionista. I love that.
"I founded Myabetic to start a to end the impersonal, standard-issue criterion. I wanted better, more vibrant options. Instead of apathetically surrendering to the disease, I could contribute. I used my artistic passion to give diabetes management a fresh new look." -Kyrra
Isn't she a badass? Or should I say, Diabadass? Read more of her story here.

Myabetic has a convenient short quiz you can take to help you find the right bag for your needs. Depending on the type of glucose meter, test items, and insulin supplies you carry will factor into the size of bag you will need.
I love how all Myabetic's cases/bags are named after someone influential to diabetes history or Kyrra herself. As noted, my bag was named after Sir Frederick Grant Banting who discovered insulin! Smart man.
I absolutely love my bag for all its organizational pouches, compartments and loops. Since taking this photo I have replaced my syringes with my other insulin (Lantus) pen. I definitely prefer my pens over syringes and insulin vials. I also love how Myabetic thought of everything and included a removable waste pouch. While I'm out and about, I stow my used lancets, needles, and other trash in the pouch until I can properly dispose them in a sharps container at home or in a fancy public bathroom that actually provides one.
Each bag includes detailed information, multiple images, a video, and customer reviews. Myabetic offers free shipping within the United States and a flat rate of 12USD for international purchases. They also have a 30 day return policy within the United States, making it a risk-free endeavor!
Ditch that generic black nylon case you've been using and find a fashion bag that fits your personality and diabetic needs! Know someone with diabetes? These bags make a great gift! =)

insulin does not make me constantly hungry. I do get hungry when I go really low, but just my regular insulin regimen does not make me constantly hungry. But, that being said, everyone’s bodies are different in how they react to things, etc., etc. Hope that’s helpful!
